EMC Australia / Subclass 864
The in-Australia aged version of the contributory parent visa.
864 is for an aged parent already in Australia, paying the contributory charge for a shorter wait than 804. Health, assurance of support and lawful stay still have to be planned. 884 is the temporary two-step version.
Who this page is for
- An aged parent is in Australia and the family can pay the contributory charge
